[SOLVED] Move sidebars to one side?

Hi everyone! I just recently installed this theme and I'm really liking it! One thing I'd really like to do, if possible, would be to have both sidebars on one side. I was able to do this with my previous theme (K2), and I was wondering if was possible with this theme.

in my theme, I have the latest version and I would love to have my bars as I want them, thanks

Hi,
found the lines and made the changes as instructed but, my left sidebar is now acting as the contentcolumn with lots of space and my contentcolumn is transformed to a sidebar at the right, what more should I change in the code to have right columns as sidebar?

That's a fairly uncritical change, it should work. Try again. Or, let me see the error in action. Seems you've changed it back. I'll be around the next few hours

It worked for me also and I am nearly codephobic ;-) I show the blog of when I am finished customizing the heck out of it. Your theme is the best thing invented for wordpress since sliced bread (excuse the dodgy metaphore, you know what I mean!) SY

Zu frueh gefreut ;-( I was singing Alleluia a bit too early, now the widget spacing of the left side bar is uneven. Can somebody please have a look at http://hospitalera.com/ and tell me how I managed to mess it up? Thanks a lot! SY
PS I left it in the default setting for the widget spacing, so it must be something what I did wrong whilst switching the site bars ;-(

You've put various seemingly unnecessary DIV's inside the text widgets, and one of those DIV's is probably not closed, leading to text widgets being inside each other. If you clean up the content of the text widgets the margins between widgets should come back.

Greetings

I'm using this great theme and i 've made this hack for the sidebars.
Unfortunately, i have a small situation.

After the hack, my site (www.macedonas.gr) have an horizontal scroll bar and i can't figure it out why. I've shanged the size of my banner, but nothing changed.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks a lot in advanced

PS. Also i've noticed that there is one more option at the widgets sidebars menu. "Invisible Widget Area"
What is that ?

Your site didn't load for me, I waited a minute. Feel free to post again when it loads

The invisible widget area is probably from your former theme, go back to that theme, remove any widgets that may still be in there, then switch to Atahualpa again.

Or it might be from the plugin "Tabbed Widgets"

The invisible widget area you were right was from the Tabbed Widget (please any update about that ?)

I've cleared old unwanted widgets-extensions. Also i don't have any other themes installed, but the blank space still exists.
I though maybe something went wrong at cut-copy-paste inside the code, but i doubled check it and i can't find anything (as far as i can see).

Any ideas ?

First of all: Thanks for a great theme!

I have both sidebars on the right side and now I would like to get the "Featured content" above both these sidebars on the right side (http://www.personkryss.se). I am really frustrated because I can't seem to get it to work.

Does anyone have a tip?

thanks!
